Vegan Grazing Cheese Board
Ingredients
- 2-3 vegan cheeses (include a mix of different flavours and styles)
- 1 jar savoury tapenade, dip or hummus
- 1 jar sweet jam or preserve
- 1-2 baguettes or loaves of good quality bread (such as sourdough, olive bread, or French baguette)
- 1 pack crackers
- 1 jar something salty or tangy, such as olives in brine, pickles, or sun-dried tomatoes
- 2-3 cups fruit or berries (such as figs, pears, grapes, and/or seasonal berries)
Optional
- A selection of your favourite vegan mock 'meats', such as sausages and hams
- 2/3 cup mixed nuts (walnuts, toasted almonds, and pecans work really well)
- 2 cups raw vegetable sticks
Preparation
Spread cheeses and dips/jams/preserves out on the platter/board. Ideally they should be in different areas of the board to balance it visually. If you have wheels of cheese, cut a wedge or two out of them for decoration.
Cut bread into small slices and fan out around cheeses and preserves/dips.
Fan crackers out around cheeses and spreads in the same way.
If using vegan meats, cut slices of them and fan them out near crackers.
Place groups of salty/tangy foods (olives, pickles etc.) around the board close to cheeses. Alternatively just place them on the board in their jar.
If using fruits like pears, slice thinly. If using figs or strawberries, slice in half. Create clusters of fruits/berries throughout cheese board to fill any spaces.
Finally, if using, add small clusters of nuts and raw vegetable sticks to fill out any additional spaces on the board.
Place a clean knife next to each cheese, and a small fork/spoon in each jar, and enjoy!
